The year 2016 dawned with a sense of guarded anticipation - while much remained the same, some things were definitely changing, with metro projects progressing in a dozen Indian cities, road projects revving up to reach 30 km per day, and real-estate construction gathering momentum to build higher towers dotting the skyline.

Here´s a concrete bond that´s got the industry abuzz.
On October 24, 2016, Parth Jindal, Managing Director, JSW Cement, announced in Mumbai that the company has joined hands with Australian company Wagners for geopolymer cement concrete. JSW Cement will have a 74 per cent stake while Wagner will own 26 per cent in the JV.

A new feather to JSW´s cap! Parth Jindal has been recently appointed Managing Director of JSW Cement. At just 25, Jindal has been an Economic Analyst of JSW Steel. He has been instrumental in convincing the group to invest Rs 800 crore in the grinding unit at a site where the work on a 10-million tonne integrated steel plant with an investment of Rs 35,000 crore was stopped due to delay in allocation of raw material linkages.
